I think not. The first *five* lines are
if (!is.na(pmatch(method, "euclidian")))
method <- "euclidean"
METHODS <- c("euclidean", "maximum",
"manhattan", "canberra",
"binary", "minkowski")
method <- pmatch(method, METHODS)
so what happens is that if you enter "euclidian" (which I gather is an
uncommon but valid spelling) you get the same result as with
"euclidean".
